Top 20 Quotes From Ilsa Faust

Luther: In all the years that I've known Ethan he's only been serious about two women. One was his wife.
Ilsa: He's married?
Luther: No, he was.
Ilsa: Was? What happened to her?
Luther: Well, she was taken by some people who wanted to get to Ethan. It's OK. He got her back in one piece. Then he quit the game. They were happy for a while. But every time something bad happened in the world Ethan would think: I should have been there. And she would wonder: Who's watching the world while Ethan is watching me? Deep down they both knew that someday, somehow, something truly terrible was going to happen. All because they were together. So...
Ilsa: Where is she now?
Luther: She's a ghost. Good at it too. Taught her myself. Every now and then she sends up a signal to let Ethan know she's safe. And that keeps him going.
Ilsa: Why are you telling me this?
Luther: [tearfully] We're in this mess because Ethan wouldn't let me die. He's a good man. And he cares about you. More than he can admit. That's one more worry than he can handle right now. If you care about him, you should walk away.

Benji: How close were we?
Ethan: The usual.
Ilsa: [incredulous] Usual?
Ethan: [chuckling] Please, don't make me laugh.

Benji: Well, how long will it take to free swim from the intake to the service hatch?
Ilsa: Two minutes, with the current at full power.
Benji: Then you just have to hold your breath for two minutes.
Ethan: What about installing the security profile?
Benji: Well, that's gonna be, like, a minute, tops.
Ethan: So I have to hold my breath for *three* minutes.
Benji: [cavalierly] You can do that.
Ilsa: What I think you're overlooking is the physical exertion. The more you exert yourself, the faster you consume oxygen.
Benji: Don't worry about him, all right? All he has to do is install the fake profile before I get to the gait analysis. You said it yourself, it's the only way.
[chuckles]
Benji: That doesn't sound "impossible".

Ilsa: It's my first time in Venice.
Ethan: It's mine too.
[Isla snuggles up to him, then the scene cuts to them holding hands on a night-time gondola cruise]

Ilsa: You kill innocent people.
Lane: I helped my government kill many innocent people and more. So much more. Killing to keep things as they were. And now I'm killing to bring about change.
Ilsa: I think Ethan Hunt would disagree.
Lane: Ethan Hunt is a gambler. And one day his luck will run out, and thousands of innocent people will pay the price. Which one of us will be the villain then?

Ilsa: If we're being honest, you're a terrorist.
Lane: If that were true, then my goal would be to spread fear. But my methods are far more surgical.
Ilsa: You kill innocent people.
Lane: I helped my government kill many innocent people and more, so much more. Killing to keep things as they were. And now I'm killing to bring about change.

Ethan: I have a way out. Interested?
Ilsa: Lead the way.

Luther: Wire strippers.
Julia: I'm a doctor, not an electrician.
Luther: Sorry, the thing with the green grip.
Julia: Got it.
Luther: The wire in my left hand.
Julia: The black one?
Luther: My left hand.
Julia: That's your left hand.
Luther: Sorry, the other wire.
Julia: The red one?
Luther: Yes, the red one in my right hand.
Julia: Just checking.
Ilsa: Oh, I like her.

Ilsa: One more time. You'll have three minutes. Two and a half minutes to switch the security profile. Thirty seconds to escape through the service hatch.
Benji: Remember, conserve oxygen. Don't move a muscle if you don't have to.

Benji: [after Ethan hijacks a helicopter to chase Walker] Ethan, where are you?
Ethan: I'm in a helicopter going after Walker.
Benji: Hold on! How did you get in the helicopter?
Ilsa: What? You can fly a helicopter?
Luther: Did you say "helicopter"? What the hell are you doing in a helicopter?

Ilsa: And what brings you gentlemen to Casablanca?
[Ethan shows her the lipstick]

Benji: We have to evacuate these people!
Ilsa: There's no time!
Ethan: This whole valley's gonna be incinerated in 15 minutes!
Ilsa: [the two helicopters take off] It's too late!
Ethan: No. I'm gonna get the detonator.
Ilsa: What? How?
Ethan: I'll figure it out. Find Lane and find the other bomb!
[gets out of the jeep and jumps onto the first helicopter]
Ilsa: What the hell is he doing?
Benji: I find it best not to look!

Lane: Twice now you've let him slip away. Curious.
Ilsa: Are you questioning my loyalty or my ability?
Lane: Can't decide.
Ilsa: I've told you before: Trust me, or kill me. But if you're gonna kill me be a man.
[tosses Lane a bodyguard's gun]
Ilsa: Do it yourself.
[Lane shoots guard next to Ilsa]

Ethan: And option three?
Ilsa: Come away with me. Right now.
Luther: Oh, boy.

Ethan: So the key to crushing Lane is sitting in a computer, just waiting for someone to take it.
Benji: So, why hasn't Lane just sent someone to steal it?
Ilsa: Oh, he has. He sent me. And I can tell you... it's impossible.

Ilsa: Unfortunately, even if you could make it through every other security measure, you won't beat the last one.
Benji: So what you're saying is, no mask can beat it. We're busted before we even get into the vault and I wind up in a Moroccan jail playing mummies and daddies with Ahmad the Strangler.

Ilsa: Are you ordering me to kill Hunt?
Atlee: Good God, no. Nothing so crude as that. No... Lane will order you. And to regain his trust, you will do it.
Ilsa: You sent me to do a job. I did it. Now you bring me in!
Atlee: Might I remind you, you are without a country of your own? The Director of the CIA called me, inquiring about you personally. Of course, to protect your cover, I had to lie. So, as far as the Americans are concerned, you're a rogue assassin, a target of opportunity. Precious few people know about your true identity. It would be unfortunate if we forgot. You see, there really is no choice, Ilsa. You're going back.
[Ilsa walks away]
Atlee: Glad to know you're still with us.

Ilsa: You have everything you need to find me.

[from trailer]
Ilsa: You don't understand what you're involved in.
Ethan: You need to walk away.
Ilsa: Please don't make me go through you.

August: Hope is not a strategy.
Ilsa: You must be new.
